How it works
Set the minutes and seconds, or tap a preset, then press Start. The timer counts down on screen and in the browser tab title, so you can see it from another tab. When it reaches zero it rings a short alarm, vibrates on phones that support it, and flashes.
The timer runs on your device's clock, so it stays accurate even if the page is in the background. It also tries to keep your screen awake while it runs.
Worked example
Boiling eggs? Tap 10 min, press Start, and the alarm rings when they're hard-boiled. For a 90-second plank, type 1 minute 30 seconds.

Can I set a custom time?

Is it free?
